222 MHz can be pretty busy in some areas, but those areas are major metropolitan areas, mostly. I had great fun in the 1980's with 222 FM in the San Francisco bay area, but I have since lived in some places that were vast 222 MHz vacuum. And it isn't the 1980's any more either, I just noticed. It sounds like you want pretty much a DC to daylight radio, and those are few. I used to have an IC-9100 which was HF / 6M / 2M / UHF - a pretty good rig (no 222 though) but donated it to a VHF contest club of which I am Member #2 of 2. I still say hello to it during VHF contests.
Don't get impatient if you're looking for something like that. They're out there.
